Who is OhCaptain?

Originally, I did just the one blog. Now I have 3. The most important thing in my life is my family. But I do have some hobbies that I do fill my time with. I love poker...playing poker, reading about poker and watching poker on TV. But there is also photography. I need to find more opportunities to mix the two!
As you will find, I'm also very opinionated...I'm a libertarian (by definition, not affiliated with the Party...they are a bit cooky!)

I signed in to Full Tilt looking for a little poker something to pass me into dream land. Look who's playing the super cheap stakes Limit Hold 'em...not me...the dude across from me. What the hell is he doing at this level?

Yeah, he's a red letter pro, that how I spotted it. I was looking to join some LHE cash games and noticed one way down at the bottom was red...sure enough, it was Kenny Tran playing in the cheap tables.

Only one that I remember, mucked it to him. It was a $1 table so I only played for a little while before losing a pretty huge pot to a 4 outer on the river. The mighty ducks took my queens down with a 4 card straight. Sigh. I try not to play this far down too often. I get a better return on finding money on the sidewalk.

I've heard that several pros have Ferguson-like prop bets going on - trying to turn $1 into $10K. Maybe he was doing something like that, although in the pic he only has $.87 in front. I can't imagine he's doing too well.

I don't see Kenny Tran being the type to partake in the Chris Ferguson challenge. I think some, but not all, of the red pros are obligated to play micro MTT's and cash games from time to time and that's all this was.
